The Ironclad class of ships were built in Wilmington’s ironically named Beery’s Shipyard during the Civil War. Our CEO began his career working next generation capabilities for the Navy. The name Ironclad was selected as a remembrance of Wilmington’s history and our CEO’s career. Ironclad is both a brewery and event venue located on North 2nd Street, in historic downtown Wilmington. The building dating back to 1925 was painstakingly revitalized using 33 local vendors. Ironclad can accommodate large parties of over 400 people. Wedding receptions, Business events, fundraisers for charities, and theme parties are often held at Ironclad.
